Other groups andorganizations, such as Awana, and civic clubs often host their own "Pinewood Derby," but since the name "Pinewood Derby" is aregistered trademark of Boy Scouts of America, they generally create their own names.The scout is given a block of wood made of pine with two notches for wheels, four plastic wheels and four nails. The finished carmust use all nine pieces, must not exceed a certain weight (usually five ounces), must not exceed a certain length and must fit onthe track used by that particular scout pack. The parent, usually the father, but occasionally the mother or grandparent often spendssubstantial time "helping" the child design, carve, paint, add weights, and tune the final car. Judging often goes to the best lookingcar, but sometimes is awarded to a car that looks like it was assembled by an elementary school child.Other than the previous basic design rules, the scout is able to carve and decorate the car as he chooses. Many scouts also addweights to the final design to bring the car to the maximum allowable weight. Cars typically vary from unfinished blocks towhimsical objects, to accurate replicas of actual cars. The fastest cars tend to resemble low doorstops, with weight at the rear.Graphite is usually the only lubricant allowed, as it often helps to polish the provided nails.The track usually has three or four lanes and slopes down to the ground as the cars are powered by gravity. Tracks may be ownedby the pack, or rented. The race is run in heats, giving every car the chance to run on each lane. The racers can be grouped withothers from the same rank (Tiger Cubs, Wolf Cubs, Bear Cubs, etc.), or can compete against the pack as a whole.The first, second, and third place winners usually receive ribbons or trophies.Some packs also award on the basis of car design. The first place race winners get to go on to race first place race winners fromthe entire district, then each of the district-wide race winners get to race each other from across the entire council."Information found at:WikipediaFind more Pinewood Derby Car Racing Here'Pinewood Derby Car RacingPinewood Derby Car Racing Power By RingsurfThis site is part of an Internet Site-Ring Community hosted at World of Newave Previous - List: pinewood - Home: pinewood - Forum: pinewood - Join - Next
